      @TK-OK It doesn't have to be 35mm, i just put lever wherever i feel like is the most comfortable position for my hand and measure that distance from the grip, so i can have 100% symmetrical cockpit.

    My friend, I have a bike that I want to paint. If I spray paint it like you, will it hold well and do you apply primer before painting?

    • @Nexmtb
      @Nexmtb  23 дні тому +1

      If you want to spray paint a whole frame, than definitely apply primer before a paint!
      It should hold up for quite some time if you do it correctly but it will never be as durable as the factory paint, just so you know

    instead of a spray bottle, use PB blast with a nozzle...evaporates when dry.

    Mam bardzo pedantyczne podejście do roweru. Nie mam problemu uwalić go w błocie, gdy śmigam nim po lesie, ale za każdym razem, gdy wracam z takiej wycieczki myję go całego, a następnie wycieram do sucha. Nie dopuszczam do tego, by gdzieś pojawiła się w rowerze korozja. To co zrobiłeś nie powinno nazywać się renowacją lub odrestaurowaniem roweru, tylko podpicowaniem go na sprzedaż.

    • @Nexmtb
      @Nexmtb  28 днів тому +1

      Well i dont agree with that because this bike was ruined and keep in mind it was bought one year ago, i fixed eveything wrong with it(there was a lot more that i didnt record at all!) and made sure it was running and looking as good as it came from the shop! So thats a restoration, by google's definiton restoration is :"the action of returning something to a former owner, place, or condition" Which is exactly what i did in this video ;)

    • @Piotr-vn1hi
      @Piotr-vn1hi 28 днів тому

      Jeśli rzeczywiście tak było jak piszesz, to trzeba to było pokazać w tym filmie. Niektóre czynności serwisowe pokazane na wideo są doskonałym materiałem instruktażowym dla innych, a tego tu zabrakło. To o czym piszesz w swojej odpowiedzi, to serwis roweru, czyli techniczne przywrócenie jego pełnej sprawności, a nie renowacja. Renowacja to przywrócenie roweru do stanu fabrycznego, czyli lekierowanie elementów, w miejscach w których lakier został uszkodzony, odtwarzanie naklejek fabrycznych, które zostały uszkodzone w eksploatacji, itd. Rozumiem jednak, że komuś taki materiał może się podobać. Pozdrawiam

      @ArnoldQMudskipper Місяць тому +2

      You're gonna have to define your version of restoration. He fixed all the problems and got the bike back to full working condition.
      Maintenance would be checking for wear, regreasing, tightening bolts etc, re-truing wheels/gears if needed, clean/polish (ie maintaining a working bike's working order).

    • @Nexmtb
      @Nexmtb  Місяць тому +3

      Just like someone already replied to you, this is much more than a "basic 50hrs maintenance"
      I will remind you that the bike was bought brand new last year, and after such a short period of time bike was destroyed, it wasnt ridable, only thing positive about it was shifting..
      I fixed every issue there was(there was a lot more issues that i didnt even record) and made sure it looked and rode like a bike that was bought one year ago from store!
      Also here is a googl's definition of word restoration : "the action of returning something to a former owner, place, or condition"
      Which is literally exactly what i did with this bike in this video ;)
